I may have quit blogging for a while but the GOOD news is…I did not stop dieting. In fact, I’ve barely every cheated and if I do have something that is considered a “no-no” on the “oui-oui” diet, it was just an itty bitty bite. During Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, I did have a couple of glasses of my favorite red wine. The day after Thanksgiving I had actually lost weight (over 1/2 lb.) The day after Christmas I had gained a pound and a half but it fell off quickly. The day after New Years, I was down two-tenths of a pound.

I’m proud to say that this morning I reached another milestone…under 140 lbs. I was thrilled. I have been tracking my progress on a spreadsheet and weighing every day. I started out losing about 2 lbs a week. I realized after about 8 weeks that my weight loss was slowing. I now lose about 1 and a 1/2 lbs per week…and really, that is nothing to complain about. With my adjusted 1 and a half pound per week progress, I should be at my goal weight around the first week of June. Just in time to actually be able go to a place where I can wear a bathing suit. It will be fabulous.
